However, it was said that Wei Dingguo was furious when he heard the news that he had surrendered Shan Tingjue, and the next day he led the army and horses and went out of the village to fight. Shan Tingqi and Tong Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning and others came straight to the front. I saw that the door flag was opened, and the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo came out, and sure enough, when he saw Shan Tingqi obeying Guan Sheng, he scolded: "Ungrateful betrayal, unrighteous husband!" ”

Guan Sheng was furious and slapped his horse forward to meet the enemy. The two horses intersect, and the weapons are held together. The two generals fought less than ten times, and Wei Dingguo looked at the formation and left. Guan Sheng wanted to chase after him, but Shan Tingqi shouted: "The general can't go to catch up." Guan Sheng hurriedly reined in the war horse. Before he could say anything, in the formation of the Lingzhou official army, 500 firefighters flew out early, wearing silk clothes, holding firearms, and there were 50 trains in front and behind, and the cars were full of reeds and fireworks.

On the back of the soldiers, each tied an iron gourd, which contained sulfur flame nitrate and five-colored cigarette medicine, lit it together, and flew out. People fall close to others, and horses are injured. Guan Sheng's soldiers scattered and retreated for more than 40 miles.

Wei Dingguo was victorious, and when he was about to collect the military horses and return to the camp, he saw a fire in the village, and the smoke was scorching. It turned out that it was the black whirlwind Li Kui, Tong Jiaoting, and Bao Xu who led the people of Withered Tree Mountain, taking advantage of Wei Dingguo's battle, to kill through the camp, break the gate of the village, kill into the village, set fire, and burn all the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers.

Wei Dingguo knew that he didn't dare to return to the camp, so he hurriedly returned to the army, and was chased and killed by Guan Sheng, and he couldn't care about each other. The camp had been lost, Wei Dingguo had to retreat, retreat thirty miles and then go down to the village to station, and send people back to ask for reinforcements.

Guan Sheng led the army to surround Wei Dingguo's Dazhai in all directions, and ordered the generals to transfer troops to attack. Wei Dingguo closed his door and stayed in the camp.

Seeing that Wei Dingguo's camp was strong, and there were five hundred of his holy fire soldiers to help defend it, once the army immediately stepped forward to attack, he would be unable to stop the soldiers from a single fire. Seeing that it was difficult to break the village, Shan Tingqi said to Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others: "This person is a brave man, he attacks tightly, he would rather die than be humiliated." The matter is over, and it is difficult to achieve results. The younger brother is willing to go elsewhere, not to avoid the knife and axe, to appease this person with good words, to tie his hands and surrender, so as not to fight. ”

Guan Sheng said that he was overjoyed, and then asked Shan Tingqi to go to the front of the village alone. The school reported that Wei Dingguo came out to meet. Shan Tingqi said with good words: "Now the court is unknown, the world is in chaos, the Son of Heaven is ignorant, the traitors are in power, and the Great Song Dynasty has exhausted the number of gases. At that moment, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo spoke in detail.

Wei Dingguo listened to this, pondered for a long time, and knew that Shan Tingqi would not earn him, so he said: "If you want me to surrender, if Guan Sheng comes to invite me personally, I will surrender; If he doesn't come, I'd rather die than be dishonored! ”

Even if Shan Tingqi comes back on the horse, he will report to Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng saw that he said, and said: "The eldest husband is doing things, why are you confused? So he and Shan Tingqi went alone. Hu Yanzhuo admonished: "Brother, people's hearts are difficult, think twice." Guan Sheng said: "It's okay for a good man to do things. ”

until the inside of the wall. Wei Dingguo continued, overjoyed, willing to surrender, recount the old feelings, and set up a feast. On that day, he led 500 firefighters, all of whom came to Dazhai and met Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning and other leaders. and met Li Kui, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Jiao Ting, Bao Xu five leading the arrival of the withered Shushan military horses, seeing that Xuanzan and Hao Siwen were unharmed, Li Kui received two leaders, Guan Sheng and others were very happy, even if the army was collected and went to the village, the wine was celebrated, and the Sanniang military horses arrived.

Within a day, Sanniang led Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Han Tao, and Peng Xi to arrive, and all the generals came to see, but Li Kui did not dare to come forward. Sanniang smiled and called Li Kui to come to ask, Li Kui covered his head and said: "I only have one head in the iron bull, my sister-in-law said before, if the iron bull violates the military order, I will cut off this head to kick the ball, if it is cut, my sister-in-law is happy to kick, but I don't know when I can grow a head again, eat meat and drink wine." ”

When the generals heard this, they all burst out laughing. Sanniang couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I heard that you led people to save Xuanzan and Hao Siwen, so I will spare you this time, and I will not spare you next time." ”

Li Kui was overjoyed and said: "If you can save people next time, you will give up this head, and you will go." The generals laughed again.

Later, Li Kui introduced Jiao Ting, Bao Xu, and Guan Sheng to see Sanniang, and Sanniang personally saluted each other with wine, and soothed with kind words. The four saw Sanniang dressed in blue and white armor, heroic and sassy, amazing and gorgeous, and their hearts were impressed.

The next day, Sanniang raised the account to discuss the military, and the former military outpost came to report, saying that the military horses of Zengtou City heard that the Lingzhou official army was defeated, and they had withdrawn their troops and did not dare to move forward. After Sanniang heard this, she said coldly: "Zeng Tou City has repeatedly colluded with the government and made my Liangshan an enemy, Shi Wengong shot my husband to death, such a deep hatred and hatred must not be forgiven." This time the soldiers and horses have come here, and when they are pursued, they will definitely eradicate him! The generals said yes, and immediately lit up the military horses, Guan Sheng Yinxuanzan and Hao Siwen were still the front army, and the rest of the generals were divided into the middle army and the rear army, and they hurried away.

After marching for several days, when they arrived at the boundary of Lingzhou, the former military Guan Sheng sent someone to report: "The military horses of Zengtou City heard that the Lingzhou official army was defeated, and led the army to retreat to Zengtou City. Seeing that the mouth of the city of Zengtou is now set down in the village, and in the Fahua Temple to make a military tent, hundreds of miles all over the flag, I don't know where to enter. ”

Sanniang sneered: "Dying and struggling, teach him not to live for seven days!" "Still ordered to march, until the village of Zengtou City.

The next day, after meeting with Guan Sheng's former army, Guan Sheng reported: "The young general sent someone to pretend to be a woodcutter until Zengtou City found out the details. See that five fences have been planted today. In front of Zengtou City, more than 20,000 people guarded it. Zeng Sheng and Zeng Suo have been killed by the lord before, the teacher Shi Wengong is in charge of the total village, Zeng Tu is in the north village, Zeng Mi is the second son in the south village, Zeng Kui is the fourth son in the west village, Su Ding, the deputy teacher in the east village, and the parents have been guarding the middle village. There is still a Qingzhou Yu Baosi, a zhang long, waist width and several girths, nicknamed the dangerous Taoist god, offering many horses are fed in the Fahua Temple, and he accounts with him. ”

After hearing this, Sanniang gathered all the generals to discuss together: "Since he has set up five fences, I will assign five generals here, and I can fight in five ways." Lu Junyi got up and said, "Senior sister, senior brother was saved to go up the mountain, but he failed to repay the favor; Now that the enemy Shi Wengong is there again, willing to move forward with all his life, I don't know what his respect is? ”

Sanniang said: "Senior brother just got out of prison, I don't know if my body will be good?" Lu Junyi said: "In prison, Cai Fu and Cai Qing are thoughtful, and they have not endured hardship. After getting out of prison, he will raise him for a long time, and he is already fine. ”

Sanniang bowed her head and said: "In this case, the senior brother can also go to battle, but the senior brother has just arrived in the cottage, and he has not been in the battle formation, the mountains are rugged, and it is inconvenient to ride a horse, so he cannot be the vanguard of the front; Don't lead a military horse, go to Pingchuan to ambush, only listen to the sound of Chinese artillery, and come to respond. ”

Lu Junyi received the order, so he took Yan Qing with him, led the 500 infantry army, and listened to the trumpet on the Pingchuan road. Sanniang then assigned the five route army horses: Dazhai in the south of Zengtou City, Guan Sheng, the leader of the horse army, and the deputy generals Xuanzan and Hao Siwen led 3,000 troops to attack; Dazhai in the east of Zengtou City, Hu Yanzhuo, the leader of the Horse Army, and the deputy generals Han Tao and Peng Xi led an army of 3,000 to attack; Zhengbei Zhai, Zengtou City, sent the leader of the horse army, Xu Ning, the golden gunner, and the deputy generals Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo, led an army of 3,000 to attack; Dazhai in the west of Zengtou City, Li Kui, the leader of the infantry army, and the deputy generals Jiao Ting and Bao Xu, led 3,000 troops to attack; Zengtou City is in the middle of the total village, Hu Sanniang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, led 5,000 troops to attack.

Not to mention that Sanniang led the five armies to advance. Let's say that after the army of Zengtou City arrived in Lingzhou, Shi Wengong got the grain and grass subsidy from the Lingzhou government, and then raised the army and came last. I didn't want to do it for a few days, but I heard that the Lingzhou army and horses were defeated. Shi Wengong was shocked, and discussed with Su Ding: "I don't want the official army to be defeated so quickly, I am afraid that the people of Liangshan will take advantage of the situation to attack, my junior sister's ability, I know, and she has no chance of winning in the wild battle, so I have to retreat to guard the village, relying on the geographical advantage to deal with her." Su Ding thought so, and after discussing it at the moment, he immediately returned to the army to garrison Zengtou City.

After returning to Zengtou City, he sent a sentry, and sure enough, he had to report that the Liangshan military horses followed after him. When Chief Zeng heard this, he asked the teachers Shi Wengong and Su Ding to discuss the important matter of the military situation. Shi Wengong said: "When the Liangshan Bo army came, it was only a lot of traps before he was able to catch his strong generals. This gang of grass cobs must be this plan, and think it is the best policy. ”

The chief sent the guests of Zhuang to wait, took the hoe and shovel, went to the entrance of the village to dig dozens of sinking pits, and the soil was covered with empty floating soil, and the soldiers were ambushed in all directions, just waiting for the arrival of the enemy; I also went to the north road of Zengtou City and dug dozens of pits.

When the Sanniang military horse set off, he went to investigate, and the villagers on the left and right had been oppressed by the Jurchens in Zengtou City for a long time, so they leaked the news. Within a few days, the fine work came back and reported: "The northern part of the south village of Zengtou City has dug a sinking pit, countless of them, just waiting for my military horses to arrive." ”

Sanniang listened and said lightly: "It's not surprising! "Lead the army forward and come to the city of Zengtou to be close. At noon at this time, the front team saw a horse coming, with a brass bell around his neck and a pheasant tail tied to his tail; Immediately, there was a person, a green scarf and a white robe, holding a short gun. When the front team saw it, they wanted to chase after it. Sanniang stopped. He taught the military horses to go down to the village, dug trenches on all sides, and laid down thistles. Passed the order to go, taught the five armies to go down to the village separately, and generally dug down the trenches and laid down the thistles.

One stay for three days, Zengtou City did not fight. Sanniang made a careful investigation again, and went to Zengtou City to listen to him, I don't know what he meant; All the pits, secretly remember how far away from the village, there are always a few.

Several meticulous workers went for a day, and they all knew the details, and secretly made a mark to report back to the Chinese army. The next day, Sanniang gave an order to teach the front team to hold iron hoes and divide them into two teams; He also took the grain cart, more than 100 of them, loaded with reeds and dry firewood, and hid them in the Chinese army. That night, he gave an order and the leaders of the various armies. Come to the day, only listen to the east and west two road infantry army to fight the village first. Re-taught Xu Ning, Shan Tingqi, and Wei Dingguo, who attacked Beizhai in Zengtou City, and put the Ma army out of the way, only beating drums and waving flags there, bluffing, and not advancing. Sanniang's order has been issued.

Besides, Shi Wengong of Zengtou City only needs to lead Sanniang's military horses to fight the village, and he will be driven into the pit. The road in front of the village is narrow, where to go? The next day, only to hear the sound of the cannon in front of the village, the army brigade to the south gate, only ready to meet the enemy to fight. (To be continued.) )
